“I remember the day @melton told me about this project,” the 24-year-old Riverdal actress recalled on her Instagram. “We were still just friends then. he hadn’t even been cast yet. they hadn’t even started casting. all he told me was ‘i’m going to play this role, i am daniel bae.’”

Camila continued, “Aside from having the biggest heart out of anyone i know, his passion and tenacity are part of the reason i fell in love with him. watching him throw his entire heart and soul into this story of love taught me a lot about the kind of person he is.”

“I’m probably sharing too much, but before we dated he’d often get mad at me for trying to bring logic into love. he taught me that love doesn’t have an explanation, it either exists or it doesn’t,” she continues. “It was his vulnerability not only as an actor, but also as a man, that taught me that valuable message, one that is so relevant to this film.”

“I’m so proud of you charles, and so grateful to have witnessed this beautiful journey of yours. can’t wait for the world to see what your capable of ♥️ happy premiere day!! #thesunisalsoastar.”
